Screed A is a durable, high-efficiency, self-leveling flooring system ideal for radiant heated floors.
Why use Screed A?
- High Heating efficiency – acts as insulation barrier and provides thermal mass
- Will not harbor bacteria
- Suitable for all residential and commercial floors
- Achieves a smooth and flat floor surface to the degree required by many modern floor coverings
- Minimal cracking and no curling.
- Wicks away moisture – less likely to become bloated
- Significant weight and material savings due to the thin design and lower density of the slab
- Self-leveling to deliver unparalleled level floors.
- Up to 10,000 sq. ft with no joints
- High flexibility
- Suitable for foot traffic within 24 to 48 hours. Partitions can be erected after 7 days.

Ambient Conditions
Agilia™ Screed A must only be laid when the air temperature is between 5°C and 30°C. The substrate must not be frozen and ideally should be within the indicated temperature range. The ambient conditions must be suitable for the drying of the screed – low air humidity (60% RH or less) and good ventilation. No curing is required, however the floor should not be subjected to severe drafts, direct sunlight or heating for the first 72 hours.
Joints
Control joints are not required in areas up to 10,000 sq. ft. depending on area layout and application.
